On Monday, the Oklahoma House of Representatives voted on a reprimand of their colleague, Sally Kern. It passed easily with 76 of the 101 members of the body voted in favor of calling her out for suggesting that women were lazy and that her black students failed to work hard because they aspired to be wards of the government.
Maybe I'm alone, but I actually was impressed that 75.2% of a group of people elected by Oklahomans would vote in line with rational humans. Eliminate the eight representatives who were excused from voting and the one who invoked "constitutional privilege" (whatever that means) and it means we're up to 82.6% of house members showing some sign of intelligence.
